The Desert Festival is held in
Jaisalmer, usually in the month of January or February, every year. The
duration of the festival is three days and it comes to an end on Poornima, the
full moon day. The main purpose of the Desert Festival is to display the rich
and colorful culture of the Rajasthan Tours. Dressed
in vibrant and colorful attire, the locals dance to the tunes of lingering
ballads of heroism, romance and tragedy of the folk heroes.
The major attractions of the
Desert Festival of Jaisalmer include snake charmers, puppeteers, acrobats, folk
performers, etc. Especially, the Gair and Fire dancers, in their vibrant and
colorful costumes, capture your heart. However, amongst all these, the ship of
the desert, camel does not loses its special place. Apart from the camel rides
that are quite popular, camels take part in a number of events. Of them, the
most famous and unique ones are camel polo and camel dance.
Other events include the turban
tying competition and a display of the most glorious mustaches. Turbans and
mustaches are deemed to be the symbols of honor in the state of Luxury Rajasthan Tours.
Then, there is a Mr. Desert contest that further adds to the enjoyment. With
the fascinating Jaisalmer Fort or the Sonar Quila and the sand dunes serving as
the backdrop, the celebrations gain an added advantage. There are also
brilliant performances by the folk artists, dancing elegantly to the tunes of
the folk music.
